How to Deploy Apps from ChatGPT (Free, No Servers)

Connect Hatchable in ChatGPT from the app directory. Then just tell ChatGPT to deploy — you get a live URL, database, and auth, free.

Open Hatchable in ChatGPT → Or sign up first

What happens next

Step 1

Open the listing

Open Hatchable in the ChatGPT app directory, or inside ChatGPT open Apps and search Hatchable. Click Connect.

Step 2

Sign in to Hatchable

ChatGPT opens a Hatchable tab to approve. No account yet? This signs you up — free, no card, no credits. Nothing to paste.

Step 3

Tell ChatGPT to deploy

Ask ChatGPT: "Build a booking page and deploy it on Hatchable." It builds the app, deploys it, and hands back a live {slug}.hatchable.site URL in under a minute.

MCP Server URL — only needed for the manual Developer Mode route below
https://hatchable.com/mcp

What you get on the free tier

  • A live URL at {slug}.hatchable.site — published the moment ChatGPT calls deploy.
  • Postgres database. Auth. File storage. Scheduled jobs. All wired up — no config files.
  • Free forever for personal projects. No surprise paywalls, no expiring credits.
  • Custom domain? That is on the Builder plan ($12/mo). Free projects keep their {slug}.hatchable.site URL.

Works in the ChatGPT desktop app and Codex

Hatchable is a listed ChatGPT app, so it connects the same way everywhere ChatGPT runs — the web app, the desktop app, and the Codex agent workspace. Build on your laptop, deploy to a real URL, and pick the project back up anywhere. The connection is tied to your account, not a device.

How this is different from deploying to Vercel or Replit

Vercel and Replit are great for a different shape of work. The difference is where the build happens:

  • Vercel — you push code from a repo. Great if you write code by hand; less helpful when ChatGPT is the one writing it, because you still round-trip through git, framework configs, and deploy logs.
  • Replit — a full in-browser IDE with its own AI. Great if you want everything in one tab; less helpful if you already build in ChatGPT and want to keep using it.
  • Hatchable — ChatGPT stays where you already work. Hatchable is the deploy target it talks to over MCP. No build step, no framework config, no npm run build. Source files are production.

Your code stays yours

No proprietary framework, no build step, no black box — your app is plain JavaScript, HTML, and standard Postgres. Every deploy is a real git commit you can browse and roll back to in the console. Genuinely portable code, not a locked-in platform.

Frequently asked

Do I need ChatGPT Developer Mode?
No. Hatchable is a listed ChatGPT app, so you connect it from the app directory on any plan, including free. Developer Mode is only for the manual add-by-URL route using the MCP server URL above.
Does it work in the ChatGPT desktop app?
Yes. Connect once from the directory and Hatchable is available across ChatGPT web, the desktop app, and the Codex workspace — it is tied to your account, not a device.
Does it really cost nothing?
Yes for personal projects. The free tier covers reasonable traffic and storage with no credit card. You only pay to exceed it or for a paid plan for production workloads.
Is my code locked in?
No. Your app is standard Node + Postgres with no proprietary framework, and every deploy is a real git commit. It is portable code you can take with you, not a black box.
What if ChatGPT makes a mistake while deploying?
Hatchable keeps every deploy as a git commit. Roll back with one click, or just ask ChatGPT to fix it and redeploy.
